Inflation fight may see voluntary price wage freeze
The Ansovisated Press reports a proposed early move in fighting inflation: a voluntary freeze on all prices and wages by business and workers. The plan envisions industry leaders and unions agreeing to hold prices and wages steady until March, with possible later compulsory controls if needed. The move would be coordinated with the new Office of Defense Mobilization led by Charles B. Wilson, who is resigning from General Electric to head the agency. The article notes President Truman’s stance that violations of fair standards could hasten mandatory controls.
